Job description

Advocate

Brighton and Hove Speak Out is an innovative advocacy charity. We support people with learning disabilities to have a voice and choice and control over their lives by providing a range of advocacy services and community projects.

About the role

We are seeking to recruit an advocate for adults with learning disabilities, who will:

  • Deliver 1-1 advocacy casework on a broad range of issues that enables people with learning disabilities to express their views and wishes, understand their rights and options, communicate with professionals and address issues they face.
  • Coordinate Speak Out’s Drop-in advocacy service, providing time limited 1-1 advocacy within drop-in sessions.
  • Develop peer advocacy at drop-in sessions.

About you

The successful candidate will need excellent communication and organisational skills. They will be able to manage a complex workload and work independently within a framework of supervision. Experience of advocacy or work with vulnerable clients is essential. Experience of working with people with learning disabilities and knowledge of learning disability services is an advantage. A full induction and training will be provided as well as ongoing peer mentoring and support. It would be desirable for the successful candidate to hold the national qualification in independent advocacy, however this can be undertaken once in post.

If you are eager to make a positive difference in your next role this is a superb opportunity to join a charity making a real difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities. 

 For more information about Speak Out and the services we offer please visit our website.

You will have plenty of opportunities to develop in your role, through ongoing training, support and supervision.

Benefits:

· Supportive working environment fostering a good work/life balance.

· Holiday entitlement of 30 days, plus bank holidays 

· Flexible hybrid working 

· 3% employer pension contribution
